SERIAL STORY WANT-AD - BY TOM HORNER THE STORY: Tke pretty, grams-eyed girl knew tke young sun was no park bench loafer, eased he was a job-seeker like herself since both were studying tke want ad columns as they sat a the same seat in tke park. It I quite natural that sbe listen to bis story of bow, r, Ted Andrews, super-salesman, lost his job witb Ace-High Card Tables Co. wben his selling lunt to stack tables one above tke other and then climb on top f the stack ended in a crash tbat hsjared a few bystanders. Ik seemed even more natural to tell bias how sbe had worked for a slactor in downstate Sumner for five years, living witb her aunt d uncle after ber mother dieo giving them everything >be earn- ed for room and board. "I'm look- ass; or my Dad," she said, ex- piained. saying ber mother had bit him because be was an im- practical iu.entor. "Tim Dono- TBB. is bis name," sbe went on. "He was planning to build a fac- tory here." Then Ted Andrews ikrust the paper under her nose. A wsnt ad sought Katie Donovan. * * TED ANDREWS WANTED CHAPTER II WANTED INFORMATION' con- cerning the whereabouts of Katie Donovan, 23, daughter of Tim and Kxnily Donovan. $10.00 will be paid to person providing address. Notify MacLeod, Goldberg and Flynn, mttorneys-at-law. Box 1114 City. * Kay Donovan read it again and again. "Why . . . why, they're looking for me!" "Your mother'* name as Em- it}?" Ted asked. "Yes. But what?" "Don't ask questions. 1 ' Ted was business-like. "Listen, I need that ten bucks, and bow I need ten bucks. Here, you write the name of your hotel you're in a hotel, aren't you? here. Then go to your room and stay there. I'll report to the MacLeod, etc., outfit where you can be found. I get the cash. The lawyers get you. Maybe you're an heiress." * * Kay had on her newest and best dress when the telehonc rang to announce that MacLeod and com- pany were in the lobby. "Send them right up. 1 ' There was a knock on her door withiiv two minutes. She opened It to admit the trio of attorneys. "Miss Donovan? I'm MacLeod," the Scotch burr rolled out. "I'm Goldberg." "I'm Flynn." She liked them immediately. Tm Katie Donovan," she echoed. The Irishman took her hand. "I knew your dad well, Miss Dono- ran. He was a smart man, and fine man. We were friends for yean." "We handled all your late fa- ther'* legal affairs," Goldberg put "My . . my late Is Dad dead?" "He in that, girl." Flynn's arm Iras around her shaking shoulders. Two weeks ago it happened. It ROMANCE was his heart." He waited until her sobbing al- most ceased. .'"Tim wanted you to have everything he had . . -" "Everything " Her surprise surprise showed through tear-wet eyes. "But Dad had nothing . . . He was an inventor ... a fail- ure" "Not entirely, lass," MacLeod interrupted. "He had one suc- cessul invention, a measuring gad- get that the automobile manu- facturers found handy. They bought the patent." "Then Dad died rich?" "Xot exactly." It was Gold- berg's turn. "In spite, of our advice to the contrary, your fa- ther insisted on investing the pro- fits from this invention in a fac- tory to produce his latest prod- uct. And it did not sell." Kay sat down, waited for the three lawyers to pull chairs close to her. "Now tell me quickly, do 1 have to go to work or do I have money ?" "You have a niillion cans of Wondrosoap, an idle actory, two tons of raw materials and $428.85 cash, less legal fee.-," Goldberg enumerated. * They told her everything then, the thrte of them, talking in turn for more than an hour. Every- thing she had wanted to know about her father, his work, his success and his failure; how they had tried to find her in Sumner and how Uncle Ralph had told them that he was glad to be rid of her, before he discovered that Tim Donovan had left a small estate. L'nable to find her regis- tered in any of the larger hotels, they tried advertising and a young man named Andrews had finally led them to her. "Oh, yes, Ted Andrews. 1 met him in the park.' 1 They drove her down to the factory. It was, as Tim Donovan had dreamed it would be, a small brick building, a short distance from the city. There was an acre or so of land surrounding it. "Tim figured he'd be expand- ing the plant soon," Flynn ex- plained. The took her through the fac- tory with its huge copper and steel mixing vats, a canner and a conveyor belt leading into the warehouse. There were long stacks of boxes theWfcrffcach con- taining 144 small, circular cans of Wondrosoap. "What is this Wondrosoap?" Kay asked. * "Your father called it an all- purpose cleaner," MacLeod ex- plained. "The label says it will clean clothes, machinery, wall- paper, floors and cut road scum from automobiles. You can wash windows with it, and in a pinch, grease an axle with it . . ." "But your father priced it too high," Goldberg added. "H wanted to sell it at fifty cent* a can and there wasn't enough of the cleaner at that price to get many customers." "But he liked to make it, hu and Old Hans Stadt, his chemist.

AftaH * Utrt, ' They kept turning it out, eon- tantly experimenting and im- proving it," Flynn supplied. "The two of them lived here and ran the factory by themselves. That is, until Hans went out to West Texas to visit his grandsons. Tim worked on alone until he died. "He came to the office that day all excited. 'I've got it now,' he said. 'If what I plan works, little Kay will have all the money she can spend.' But we never found out what his plan was. I came down here the following morning and found him." * They left her alone in the little combination office and home that had been Tim Donovan's. Her mother's picture was on the desk, Emily in her wedding gown. Kay'a picture, too, as a laughing, dimp- led baby, nude on a white rug. She fingered her father's pipes, strong with the odor of rich to- bacco, and felt his nearness for the first time in her life. She peered into his cupboard, caressed his few dishes, pictured him cook- ing for himself, alone. "We we.'e wrong. Mother," she whispered. "Our place was with Dad." They were together now, she knew. And they would b watching out for her. e MacLeod, Goldberg ai\d Flynn were waiting at the car when she came down at last. "I would suggest that you trji to sell this property," MacLeod began. "We can probably find a buyer. but it's away from the railrond and the highway You'll have to taki* a loss," Goldberg added. "That's really the smart thing to do, Miss Kay,'' Flynn advised. "I think that is what your father would want you t do. Take what you can get in .cash. It should amount to $5,000. You can live on that for a while.'' "Maybe we can find a way to get rid of the product, but I doubt it," MacLeod said. "You can count on us for all the help you need, and we're not charging you full price." Gold- berg again. "I think you are all a grand, loyal friends of Dad's and of mine," Kay told them. "But, I'm not going to seil either the factory or the Wondrosoap." "You're not t-oing to sell? *' They got together on that. "But you a girl . . .'" The property will depreciate in value. You can't give Wondrosoap away, much lesi sell it. How are you g'oing to live on $400? Four hundred and twenty-eight dollars and eighty- five cents?" Kay waited until they stopped firing questions at her, then told them her plans. "I'm going to live right here at the factory, just as Dad did.

I'm not used to hav- ing much money. I'll be safe here and if I get lonesome I can take in a roommate, some working girl with a car. "And I'm going to sell Wond- rosoap !" The lawyers let Flynn do the talking-. He had handled Tim Don- ovan after a fashion. Perhaps, he could manage his daughter. "You can't do it, child. You'll be lonely, you'll be frightened. And yon can't sell Wondrosoap. Your dad tried that. If he could not, how do you expect to?" "I'll sell it!" Flynn had run into the set Donovan jaw before. He knew when it was time to stop arguing. "All right, then. How can we help?" * "First, I'll need a roommate who will keep the books and be secretary and general helper," she decided. "Advertise for her, tell her to come out here for a per- sonal interview. If they won't come out, they don't want the job. 1 want a girl like myself, jobless, friendless but I have three good friends now," slie ad- ded, smiling. "You can interview any girl I pick, check over her family to be sure she's all right. "Then I ..ir.i a salesman with ideas the best salesjnan in town. Find Ted Andrews." The attorneys showed their be- wilderment in blank faces. "Ted Andrews?" "Ye.;. The young man who told you where to find me. He has riark hair, blue eyes. His nose has been broken, probably in foot- ball. He's six feet tall, wears " "You wouldn't know his ad- dress now, would you?" Flynn grinned. Kay blushed. "This Andrews used to work for the Ace-High Card Table Co., until he got arrested. Maybe Mr. Archibald can help you. Try him anyway." "Won't any otiuT salesman do just as well?" BncLeod asked. "I know of several reputable firms that could be induced to let you borrow a sales manager. I think we could arrange it. But you're throwing your bank account away." .

BROOKS There's no need to struggle with a food-chopper 01- grater when your recipe calls for dry crumbs.
